"Injuries can be faked. Eero was a good actor, nothing more. I was foolish not to think of it before. This should be a lesson to you, Padawan. Have as many friends as you want, but do not trust them. Believe me, I know what I am speaking of."

A sentientspecies had a tall, spindly physique. It was distinguished by bright-yelloweyes and flexible antennae. Nervous members of the species twirled these antennae around their fingers, and publicly embarrassed ones visibly bristled. The species had feet.[2] Their skin became pale when injured,[3] and they had a shrill voice when scared.[4]

Iridian twice ran unsuccessfully for election as his homeworld's senator but became stymied by a lack of funds. He dropped out of public life, eventually taking a position as aide for Blix Annon,[5] an important senator with strong support within the Jedi Order.[6] Frustrated at his lackluster career, Iridian collaborated with the pirateLorian Nod, arranging the kidnappings of numerous senators. The funds from the ransoms were to be used to fund another election campaign. Iridian ultimately arranged for the capture of Annon, and a successful kidnapping attempt was made while Iridian accompanied the Senator on a cruise to Annon's homeworld.[4][7] Iridian feigned injury to his Jedi escorts—Dooku and his Padawan apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn. He later set them up on the planetVon-Alai, leading to their capture by Nod. The kidnapping attempt went awry when Annon died of a heart attack. Iridian panicked, providing an opportunity for Dooku to turn the tables on Nod.[4] Iridian was eventually handed over to the Coruscant Security Force[8] to stand trial for murder and conspiracy.[1]
